Username Amnesty 2010: Now In Force

Fraser Lewry's picture

Righty-ho. If anyone wants to change their website username, this week is the week. Leave your request in the comments, and I'll confirm the switch. Usernames can be a mix of upper case and lower case letters and numbers, and can contain spaces. Use of real names is encouraged. All your old posts will be credited to the new username. Thanks.

Man walks into a registry office, and says,

"I'd like to change my name, please." So the Registry clerk says, "Certainly, Sir. And your name at the moment is?" And the man replies, "James Wankshit."

The clerk visibly shudders and says, "I see. And what would you like to change your name to?"

And the man replies, "Fred Wankshit".

BOOM!!-BOOM!!!

Do accounts expire if not used?

I'd very much like the username Joe, but was informed in the last amnesty that it's already taken. However, the person who has this account has been a member of the site for over 2 years but never posted a thing. Does that mean I can swoop and assume their username or is that just bad netiquette?

0
Joe R | 1 March 2010 - 10:24am

Hmmm

I'm not going to delete another user, I'm afraid - Joe might not post, but he might still be a regular visitor to the blog.

0
Fraser Lewry | 1 March 2010 - 10:41am

Good point

Fair enough, I'm sure I won't lose any sleep over it. Cheers anyway, Fraser.

Edit: that sounds more flippant and pissed off than I intended it to - sorry! In fact, it wasn't meant to sound flippant or pissed off at all... man, it's tricky to gauge tone in plain text...

Fraser Lewry | 1 March 2010 - 10:44am

'fraid not

I actually quite admire the long-ball playing butcher-lookalike for the joy he brought to my Newcastle-supporting pals.

It's a Floyd / Barrett reference.

Spartacus Mills | 1 March 2010 - 10:54am

Hi Fraser

Since everyone seems to refer to me as The Amorous Hum..., please could you shorten me to just Humphrey Plugg?

Hi Fraser

I've given it some thought, particularly in light of my drunken vows at the Lamb get together to use my real name, but, like many others here, I often do the equivalent of the cheeky half during worktime and as we currently have a consulancy firm nosing about the place, it might be best not to do so. Therefore, if The Fat White Duke is as yet untaken, I'd like that. Cheers.

Fraser Lewry | 2 March 2010 - 2:08pm

what about the other drunken vows you made that night?

and I think its a shame you're changing it. I still have the vision of you coming up to me in the Lamb, sticking out your hand and proclaiming "Hi, I'm Vorgongod".

That's something that doesn't happen every day.

Sid Williams | 4 March 2010 - 6:38pm

OK

well I'm fed up of the number, even if it does have a relevance. It makes me sound like something out of a sci-fi movie.

I'm half tempted

to ask if Arnold Bocklin is taken.
But half tempted not to so I'm sticking with my real name.

Carl Parker | 7 March 2010 - 1:58pm

I've added this to my favourites

That way, I'll be able to look back and remember who's who.

Otherwise, the next 2 months will be a veritable "who's that?" of word massive.

Last night I was a little over refreshed

and nearly got caught up in this. My notes this morning show that I was considering the following

Laser Fury
Gordon Bennett
Amanda Hugnkiss
Buck Dharma III
Dr Marten
Max Webster
TS Garp
Jennings Little Hut

Luckily the wireless service in my hotel room went on the blink and so it never came to be. Today, sober and with headache, I feel it's a bit like choosing a new football team - I just can't do it. You get one go and then you're stuck with it. Although the first one does make me smile.

fortuneight | 4 March 2010 - 12:18pm

my vote would be..

Laser Fury, if you're looking for moral support.

I'm still waiting for someone to choose the name "reply to this comment"

Have you got a bet on?

Fraser dearest, is this just a ploy to have your original post top of the 'most popular' for a week? If so, I for one will not be falling for it...... Ah yes, I see I already have. Oh well, while I'm passing I'll take two of your finest capitals please; hence, Clint Oyster.

How long?

before the drawbridge comes up on the amnesty again? Feeling slightly foolish with my realish name........still musing over a change but worried I might forget it by next week if I come up with a sparklingly witty off the cuff name.

el toro calvo grande | 5 March 2010 - 1:07pm

OK then

Not sure if changing from your real name to a nom de plume because of work issues is going to solve anything.

They can check links to IP addresses too, which is equally damning.

However, googling my name lists a disturbing lot of bollocks so please may I change to my nickname please Fraser? Which is Beezer.

Thank you

Retire that name!

I did think that 'Monk De Wally De Honk' was such a lovely new name, but in the end i'd be damned forever typing it wrong to log back in - so with that in mind can I retire 'Daveyman1968' and now have.... (drum roll please)

über-über

With or without umlauts, whatever apeases the web pixies!

Thanks.

Fraser, could you please do the honours. Please feel free to inform me if it's already taken.

"el toro calvo grande" is my Mourinho of nomenclature.

el toro calvo grande | 5 March 2010 - 5:11pm

So...

I'm confused, does that mean I'm daveross now?
Or am I still the Badger King?

Have properly been laughing at most of these posts. Thanks guys. Luckily I don't drink milk. If I did it would be out of my nose all over the monitor.

Did try googling my nomenclature, just to see what would come up.

Forgot that I'd uploaded this ages ago. Alex Peters (me) remixing "Nude" by Radiohead. With additional samples certainly not cleared!

Let's see if you can spot them all!

Apologies Fraser but any chance?......have started contributing more instead of lurking and underestimated how vulnerable my delicate self feels having my real name 'out there'. Is it possible to change to Larry Bee, nobody will suss that!
